The Emotional Bank Balance
Money is emotional. EVA partnered with a global banking client to unwrap the emotions around saving money, and to explore whether their marketing comms hit the emotional themes that matter most to their consumers.
The Emotions of How and Why
Using EVA’s cutting-edge emotion tracking and analytics, we were able to analyse facial reactions as research participants watched the ads, and then decode their natural response when they talked about how the comms made them feel. With EVA you get both a deep insight into the instinctive emotional response and a clear understanding of the reasons why.
The Emotional DNA of Saving
It gets better! Most emotion tracking systems simply analyse response using a rudimentary set of generic sentiment metrics. EVA is different. By unpacking the emotional DNA of how people feel about saving money, the team could assess the emotional response to comms in terms of a category-specific set of rich emotional states that drive consumer behaviour.
